The table on types of automatic functions lists the
suitable cookware for each of the automatic functions.

Sensors and special accessories

The sensors measure the temperature of the saucepan or
frying pan throughout the cooking process. This ensures
that the power is controlled with high precision and that
the right temperature is maintained:
Your cooktop has two different temperature measuring
systems:
Frying sensor function: Temperature sensors are
▯
located underneath the cooktop. These monitor the
temperature of the base of the frying pan.
Cooking sensor function: A wireless temperature
▯
sensor transmits the temperature of the saucepan to
the control panel. The sensor is attached to the
saucepan.
A wireless temperature sensor is required for the cooking
sensor function. You can purchase this from specialist
retailers, our technical after-sales service or our official
website – you will need to quote the reference number
CA060300.
You can find more information about the wireless
temperature sensor in the section entitled

Functions and heat settings

Frying sensor function
You can use the frying sensor function to pan-fry food
with a small amount of oil.
This function is available for all hotplates.
Advantages
The hotplate only heats when necessary. This saves
▯
energy. Oil and fat will not overheat.
An audible signal will sound once the empty frying pan
▯
has reached the optimal temperature for adding the oil
and food.
Notes
Do not place a lid on the frying pan. This will prevent
▯
the function from activating correctly. You can use a
splatter guard to prevent fat from splashing out.
Use oil or fat that is suitable for frying. If you are using
▯
butter, margarine, cold-pressed olive oil or lard, use
temperature level 1 or 2.
Never leave fat or oil unattended while you are heating
▯
it.
If the hotplate is at a higher temperature than the
▯
cookware or vice versa, the temperature sensor will
not be activated correctly.
For frying with a large amount of oil, always use the
▯
cooking sensor function. For frying with a large
amount of oil in the saucepan, set the temperature to
170-180° C.
